Why even bother with trying to have a "fun" DD? Buy a cheap beater you can live with and dump all your extra cash into your fun car!!
Maybe I'm getting old but with my 40 minute commute I want quiet comfortable effortless driving so I can text and eat a cheeseburger. Says the guy who bought an Evo X to DD.
G35X? Cheap, Work well in winter, peppy engine, seats 4-5. Sure you wouldnt waste time bringing it to an auto X, but thats why you own a fun car!!!
